Open Heavens 25 June 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Why healing is yours
WHY HEALING IS YOURS – Sunday June 25th 2017
Memorise:
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
Read: Isaiah 53:3-5 (KJV)
53:3 He
is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.
53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
53:5 But
he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
Bible in one year: Judges 20, Jeremiah 52:12-23, Hymn: Sing hymn 5
MESSAGE:
In
life, what you tolerate goes a long way to determine what you go
through, and how you go through situations and circumstances. While God
expects us to be tolerant of the weaknesses, character defects and
inadequacies of our fellow human beings, He does not expect us to be
tolerant of the devil and his tokens. For this reason, in 1st Peter 5:9
,
we are commanded to steadfastly resist the devil and his antics. In
fact, we are even permitted to be violent in our approach towards
effectively resisting the devil (Matthew 11:12).
Whatever you allow in your life, stays, multiplies and may even
dominate your life! Never allow anything evil to come into your life or
to continue to hibernate in your life.
One
of the tokens of the liar that you must not allow is sickness. You
should not tolerate sickness because it hinders you from effectively
serving God. Sickness hinders and makes one an ineffective witness of
Jesus Christ. Open Heavens 25 June 2017: Sunday daily devotional by
Pastor E. A. Adeboye- Why healing is yours. If you go out to
preach about Christ and His power and you are sick, some people will
challenge your message, saying that the power you attribute to Jesus
should first be seen in your life before they can believe. In addition,
sickness hinders how we praise God. Isaiah 38:18-19
says only the living can praise God and not those in the grave. It is
not easy to praise God when your body is going through severe pain. Isaiah 53:5 says,
“But
he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.”
Jesus
has already paid the price of our healing, and so when a believer
remains sick, it means that the suffering of Christ over that person is
being wasted. Are you sick? You cannot afford to remain sick. Receive
your healing now in Jesus’ Name! Mark 9:23
says if only you believe, your healing can be delivered to you. [Sunday
June 25, 2017 open heavens].This means that your faith is being
challenged whenever you are sick. Do you have enough faith to
appropriate the sufferings of Christ over your situation in order to be
healed? Beyond this, God gave me a revelation that sickness does not
only challenge our faith, it also challenges our Lord Jesus Christ.
Since He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, when sickness
challenges our faith, then it is the Author and Finisher of our faith
that is also being challenged (Hebrews 12:2). This season, your healing will suddenly manifest and you will see the tokens of sickness no more.
Action Point
Father, since You have already paid the price for my healing, I receive all-round healing today in Jesus’ Name.
